We're sneaking down to Baltimore this afternoon. I am excited. Sarameg, Lisah, Maria, if you all are around, we're not leaving until midday Friday
I have plans tonight but maybe I'll see you're out and about in Hampden. And, happy birthday!!

Sara, part of your solution should probably include travel to Texas.

I will third the endorsement of Geico's road service. I've used them four times, and it's a very no-muss, no-fuss service. One time it did take them a very long time to arrive. On the other hand, when road work took out two tires, the Geico tow person figured out the nearest place that was open and carried my tires, and towed me there.
As others have said, Connie, I'm sure he was proud of you and knew you had the strength to find new adventures.

Must pull in the manic a little, it's too soon to be pricing apartments. But one-bedroom apartments in Salt Lake are the same price as I'm paying rent for the house. The idea of having a space that is fully mine makes me giddy.

That would be really good for you.

Our wings are not tired.
Would that decrease commute time, Connie? Seems like a huge boon! And downtown SLC is so great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Looking at apartment listings online when you aren't in a panic about moving is the best.

Not much difference on the commute, just coming in from a different direction. The apartment complexes look nice online, of course, but I was a little worried that I'd be stuck in low-income stuff. Not having kids to house gives me a great advantage in a Utah housing market.
It's kind of horrifying to realize how much stuff Hubby dragged around. I could do quite well with the amount of furniture we have--bookshelves galore! All the stuff has been psychologically oppressive to me, but he felt protected by it. When his family was in the military, he'd gather stuff around him then be forced to abandon most of it when his father was reassigned. He never got over that idea, and he was grateful that he didn't have to abandon his stuff anymore.
I am not used to this level of optimistic anticipation. It makes me nervous. But this is one of the most significant life changing circumstances, and maybe it's finally time to realize that some change is good.

That's great, Connie -- it helps when you can imagine really hard times leading to good times down the road.
